01/Funke Adeyemo Foundation
About us
A foundation built on faith
and compassion.
In brief
2024
Founded with purpose
Our story
It began with a burden to care.
The Funke Adeyemo Foundation began with a simple burden: that no widow should have to carry grief and financial pressure alone. In many communities, the loss of a husband can also mean the loss of income, family support and the confidence needed to care for children. We wanted to respond to that reality with more than sympathy.
In 2024, that burden became a foundation. We started with widows, because that was the need closest to us, and we built our first outreach around practical help: food, household supplies, fellowship and the dignity of being seen. From there, the work grew to include rural community outreach and support for children's education.
We remain a small, community-rooted organisation with a large conviction. We believe that faith is most credible when it is visible in how we treat the vulnerable. That is why we listen first, serve with humility and keep the people we serve at the centre of every decision.
What guides us
Three commitments that shape the work.
Our mission
To express the love of God through practical, dignified support for widows, vulnerable families and underserved communities.
Our vision
Communities where no widow, child or family is left to face hardship alone, and where generosity becomes lasting change.
Our promise
To listen before we act, keep our promises modest, protect the dignity of every person and be transparent with every resource.
Our values
The way we work matters as much as what we do.
01
Faith in action
We believe love should be visible. Our faith shapes how we show up, how we listen and how we serve.
02
Human dignity
Every person is made in the image of God. We serve with honour, never pity, and protect the dignity of those we walk with.
03
Open hands
We are transparent about what we receive and what we do with it. Trust is a responsibility we take seriously.
04
Community first
We work alongside local leaders, families and volunteers because lasting change is built together.

Accountability
Registered, rooted and accountable to the people we serve.
